nikato · Answer

no. its not right.
did you even check you answers by plugging them back in? haha

nikato · Answer

so first, take the second equation and add 2y to both sides.

you'll get x=-12+2y

nikato · Answer

substitute this into the first equation

-3(-12+2y)+2y=16
now solve for y

anonymous · Answer

I  got 10/3???

nikato · Answer

no.
distribute
-3(-12+2y)

anonymous · Answer

I did 36-6y=16 then I put it in my calculator and I got 10/3 @nikato

nikato · Answer

you forgot to add the 2y after you distribute

36-6y+2y=16
combine like terms and subtract 36 on both sides
-4y=-20
so y=5

now plug this value of y into one of the original equations and solve for x
